How to use tampons

The days when menstruation comes are very inconvenient. Usually we will choose sanitary napkins to get through the menstrual period, but now many female friends find that tampons are more convenient than sanitary napkins, and there is no need to worry about the risk of side leakage. It can also have the same function as ordinary sanitary napkins, so many people like this item very much, but you still have to read the instructions when using it.

2. Untie the end with the cotton thread and straighten the cotton thread. Then gently cut the thin thread to all four sides, and expand the slender end into a small umbrella shape.

3. Put the finger sleeve included in the package on your index finger, put it into the umbrella-shaped groove, and pinch the tampon with your thumb to prepare for placement.

4. Adopt the most comfortable and natural posture for yourself (such as sitting on the toilet seat with your legs open, one leg on the toilet seat, or standing with your legs apart and bent), and use your index finger to gently push the noodles in. Try to take it easy when placing it.

5. Since the female vagina has a certain curvature, you should push it slightly inward and upward. If you feel resistance during the pushing process, just change the angle.

6. Push the second section of your index finger completely into the vagina. If you can still feel it, push the tampon a little further. If the position is correct, you will not feel the presence of the tampon. When properly placed, the end of the cotton thread will remain outside the vaginal opening.
